This Year is different , Make it Count

Happy 2017 !!! Aren't we all excited that it's a new year?   There is always a fresh aroma in the air every new year and I know that's God's way of saying " Here is a fresh Start!".

This year must be different!  So I told myself but let's get into that dialogue of why  I think so. 
Only a fool does the same thing over and over and expects the same results...  a wise man's quote.  I agree,  I am victim of expecting the same results while I have been doing nothing different.  
4 things I have been learning that I want to share with you.  
1.Everything is a heart Issue 

Proverbs 4:23 " Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of Life "  that word keep is also Guard on some translations . 
Your heart is not a joke.... Show me your heart and I will show you your issues.  I
bumped on some Instagram quote that read " Discern your Judas from your Peter... Judas had a bad heart... Peter just had a bad day.  Peter you restore, Judas you release.  That was profound because it mirrored the condition of their hearts . 
There are people that are toxic for your heart.. Release them. It doesn't mean that they are bad people,its just the way your heart is set up there is no room for them. 
Jesus said where your heart is, there your treasure will be.  What he was saying is... Careful what you set your heart on because it will tell on you.  I know people say Hips don't lie but I feel like the heart doesn't lie either. 

2.Just Do It 
This is Nike's Logo but it's still relevant here.  I am still learning to be confident to pursue what God has for me.  Learning that the talk is important but it is the walk that is really significant.  When Moses was sent to deliver the Children of Israel Exodus 4, the Lord asked him what's that in your hand?  Let's be real, just like any individual Moses though that God was going to provide an army.  I could imagine Moses thinking how AK-47s and Machetes were going to be his life but imagine the Lord told him "What's that in your hand ''.I realized that the Lord is about Action,  let's do this kind of goals.  It's not easy to set up on a journey and walk ,but step after step you will gain ground .  The talk has been too much it's time to connect the Audio to the Video.. lights ,Camera ACTION!  

3.Silence 
Everything is loud,  including Your Own thoughts.  I have come to learn that noise doesn't have impact...  Thunder doesn't have much impact as rain does.  I have been to parties with loud music that were of zero significance and I have been to quiet meetings and even parties and I left with alot. The point here is that there is something that silence does that noise won't do.  The power to keep calm when everything else is chaotic...  The strength to hold the tongue when the mind is running on a full explode mileage.  Proverbs 13:3.... Move in silence . Some of the most successful assisinations were in silence , there is power in silence. "Be still and know that I am God",  the knowledge of God is hidden in stillness .Shhhhhhh , I know you want to react but Silence! 

4. Chill ,Its okay 
The world has a system...  The system has codes and we are bound by them unless we realise who we really are.  Romans 12.2
Do not be conformed to this world :but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may Prove, what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 

There is a proving that needs to be done but it happens to people whose mind is renewed. 
It's okay if people will not understand your thought process, your reasons, question your motives It's okay.  We are not if this world so you might as well run with that.  
God is in the business of showing his splendor but we cannot show forth God if the systems of the world are engraved in us.  In short,  you cannot be Running on windows and Ubuntu at the same time... Pick a struggle. God is calling us to stand out not to fit in because of the purposes that he has put on the inside of US. 

As I said earlier,  this are things that I am gradually learning every other day.  I have to remind myself... Program myself if I have to.  It is not easy, but it's worth it.  

I have that sunshine know my pocket feeling that this year will be a good year.  Why?  Because I choose to see it that way and I am positioning my heart to see all the good things God has in store for each day.  ......& I am coming for everything they said I couldn't have. 😊

From my heart to yours.... Happy 2017💕

Why the Devil wants You for Dessert ! - On the Menu

Let’s agree to disagree, this year has a point to prove, it’s in a rush. It’s on the run to somewhere; it has to be there by December.     I am not sure whether I am the one experiencing this, but Sunday is such a throw stone away from Monday nowadays. It feels like yesterday I was huffing and puffing trying to get my resolutions together, it’s now July . Anyway I am buckling up and keeping up with the speed levels of 2018.   2018, if you can hear me, I am breaking sweat as well, we shall revisit and settle in December. .................... I love Nigerians, it’s not their Jollof rice or their incredible sense of art, and it’s their oomph! ,   I have a thing for their vigour. I find them so boisterous in their confession especially. You can tell when Jesus said, the kingdom suffers violence and the violent shall take it by force, that was for them.   I have limited knowledge about them but I have managed to gather a few traits here and...

THE OTHER WOMAN - The Leveled-Up Woman.

  Ever heard of this saying? “Women are their own worst enemies?   The tales about how women do not support each other and other lies?  Here to demystify.   Well, lately I have been thinking about women and the power we have to influence each other. I am sure you are thinking ‘here she goes again with the feminism talk ’, 😂be kind, I promise to take you on a different tangent.   The thing I have learnt about life is that if you do not like what you see ,then be the change.  I do not want to be benighted to the fact that there are times when we might have witnessed women being used in    impious   rivalry, malice and guile.   There is that but , there is also another narrative of women who built each other, championed each other for God’s glory. Let’s get straight up into the word. Hannah and Peninnah .   These were Co-wives to one man. Hannah was on the other side of have not.   She was childless; she...

Listen , JUST DO IT ✔

Guys, in a few days I will a year older! September is that month for me. Yaaay ! Deep down I want to celebrate and pop some bottles (in this case water or a juice of choice) but something in me wants to care for more. In my walk as a Christian, there are times when I feel overwhelmed, not good enough, inadequate. If I can be candid, it is a very desperate place yet it is indispensable for growth.  Have you ever been tired? Tired of mediocrity, unfruitfulness, lack of progress, retrogression, tired of the norm , just tired ! There is nothing wrong with feeling tired, in fact I have learnt that when you feel tired it’s because you have been laboring for something. There is no problem in wanting IN, wanting more, it’s not greed; it’s a level of pursuit. Don’t get me wrong, I am very grateful for what God pours into my life, He is so kind and loving, I can attest. I however feel like I am in a place where I know there is more in God and I cannot afford to shrink back and be compl...
